Recomed this.... from a guy without a government ... a belgian

I holidayed during the first 2 weeks of August with my family and friends - 9 of us altogether. We have been to France quite a few times now and this house beats them all! It is well equipped with plenty of room for 2 families and a pool that kept our children occupied for hours. The area was quiet and peaceful with fantastic views of the countryside of sunflowers and grapevines. The description on the owners website is exactly as it describes.

On arrival the house was extremely clean, we even had a welcome pack with all essentials including wine!

We visited Royan where we hired bikes, Jonzac, Rochefort, Bordeaux (tip try the park and ride and catch the tram only 4.10 euros p.p), La dune de Pyla at Arcachon was lovely and well worth a visit, Meschers sur Gironde where we found high ropes for the children, and go-karting at St George de Didonne amongst other trips.

The house is about a 10 minute drive from Mirambeau where you can find a Super U, this was great for topping up all our groceries and wine!

We had a brilliant holiday and only wished we could have stayed another week. I would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone looking to holiday in France who wants a picturesque location.

Thank you Gus for being so co-operative during the early booking stages, it really was very much appreicated.

We (2 couples, our mother & father & twin 18yr boys) have recently returned from La Renaudrie after a week relaxing in this beautifully restored house which is finished & furnished to an expectionally high standard. The house itself is generously proportioned & all double bedrooms are a great size (especially the master). Everything we could possibly need was available, incl. plenty of outside furniture, all towels & linen (incl. beach towels), cooking utensils etc. We liked the open plan living space but very rarely used the indoor table as the weather was so beautiful.
We usually sightsee/travel most days, however the POOL was such a good size, clean & refreshing that we spent most of our days at the house. We managed to use the net & ball provided to set up a vollyball area in the shallow side of the pool and even grandma & grandpa played along.
We visited the local outdoor eatery at the end of the road when our friends visited for the day with their 3 children and had a mixture of burgers, chips etc. which was good, however 2 of the party had the duck which was very good. The visiting children loved the trampoline & ping pong table at the house.
We also ate in the local restaurant 'The White Horse' on our last evening and the food was excellent, however the next day we thought we had been overcharged so would suggest that you check you bill before paying. We didn't get a copy!
One of the day trips took us to Cognac and we enjoyed the tour (& cool air) around the Otard distillery (after being suggested by a very friendly restaurant owner in the town - can't remember the name but walk up behind Otard into town & you'll come to a pedestrian area with a few cafes etc. they served excellent kofta kebabs). Otard was interesting due to the history of the castle and the non-drivers enjoyed the tasting afterwards! Cognac was very pretty & quaint especially by the river. We also visited Royan and enjoyed a pleasant walk along the coast and of course lunch in one of the many restaurants, enjoying moules & frites.
We were regular visitors to the 'Super U' in Mirambeau which is more than adequate for food, wine etc. and only a few minutes away by car.
Our only negative comment about the whole trip was the mosquitos as half of us suffered a few nasty reactions, however a trip to the chemist & some antihistamines & repellent helped. Be prepared.
That said we had a fantastic holiday & many thanks to Gus & Judy for their detailed information & beautiful home.
